Wolfsburg Weed Huggers VW Club meet

On the last Wednesday of each month two local VW clubs hold their monthly club meet. I normally attend the 'House of Dub' club meet because I am good friends with Spike and Zoe who run the House of Dub, however this month my good friend Stuart, from Oil Droppers, asked if I fancied a drive over to The Wolfsburg Weed Huggers club meet and as I haven't seen many of the WWH crew since their very successful 'Open Day' back in June, I was more than happy to join him.

Stuart and I arrived at the Squirrel Pub in Pennabout 7.00pm, and were surprised to be thefirst to arrive.

Still, it gave me time to take some photos ofour buses to prove we were there.! A photo of my bay outside the pub on a darkNovember evening.

A slightly better photo of my bay as it peeksout of the dark.

Stuart followed me over in his turbo '71 bay.Stuart was hoping for a good turn out fromthe WWH,so he could promote his new venture'Oil Droppers' VW garage / workshop.

This lovely orange / mustard bay turned up shortly after us, and as we chatted to Kez, the lady owner, it turned out she has only owned the late bay for 2 weeks, and is from the otherside of Aylesbury...

Needless to say we invited her to attend the'Outcast VW Club club' meet next week, it would have been rude not to, especially as Kez lives in the same town as us.

This lovely '66 bug arrived a bit later in the evening and again it was owned by a lady owner, who uses the bug as a daily driver.

Looking pretty much stock, and very clean.

This really is one good looking beetle, especially as it's used every day on the rubbish British roads.

Christian, arrived much later in his lovely 23window samba. Apart from another early beetle arriving later in the evening, which I didn't get a photoof, that was about the total of VW's inattendance, which was slightly disappointing,but given that it is the end of November, andit's dark and cold outside I suppose mostclub meets will have similar numbers attending.We have our club meet next week and I thinkwe'll probably have a similar turn out. Having said that, it was still a very enjoyableevening, and we met some new faces and I hadan good catch up with Cristian who I believeis the main man at the WWH. We'll havemake to make more of an effort to go overto the WWH more often as I bet in the springand summer months the turnout is much better.
